Golden State Valkyries All-Star Gabby Williams has publicly dismissed the recent surge in media attention surrounding her standout playoff performance, stating, “The media’s never respected me… I don’t care.” As she prepares for the 2026 WNBA Finals against the Atlanta Dream, Williams emphasized that respect from her peers holds far more value than any external praise. Her candid comments reflect a career marked by a perceived lack of recognition despite her rise as a top two-way player, fueling an underdog mentality for the Valkyries.
